The Forrest Rockets will take on the Page Patriots at 5:30 p.m. on Friday.
Thursday just wasn't the day for Forrest's offense. They lost 6-0 to Community on Thursday. The home team had taken home the W every time these teams have met since April 17, 2025, but that streak is no more.
For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Page and Ravenwood meet (three straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Thursday. The Patriots walked away with a 9-4 victory over the Raptors.
Ashley Johnson made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, tossing 3.1 innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-5 with one run and one double.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Riley Vaughan, who went 4-for-5 with four stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last five games she's played. Another player making a difference was Isabel Melton, who went 3-for-4 with three RBI and one double.
Page hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. The team has now struck out at least five batters in four consecutive matchups.
Page is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That somehow still isn't as good as their 20-5-1 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Forrest, they dropped their record down to 10-12 with the defeat, which was their fourth straight at home.
